Tottenham Hotspur and Jose Mourinho could be left with regrets as Darwin Nunez edges closer to Liverpool - after the Portuguese tactician seemingly turned down a move for the 22-year-old when in charge of Spurs.
While at Almeria, Nunez drew interest from a host of clubs and in particular the Premier League as Tottenham and Brighton both eyed a move for the Uruguayan. The north London side opted against a move for the forward, Ian Ladyman from the Daily Mail wrote in 2020: "Mourinho gave thought to Almeria’s Darwin Nunez but decided not to pursue the Uruguayan striker".
Instead, Benfica forward Carlos Vinicius arrived on loan whilst the Seagulls failed in their efforts to lure Nunez to the south coast as Nunez put pen-to-paper on a record move to the Lisbon side.
